Now Leaving Early Access!
Thank You! To all those who played Stolen Crown during it's development, I want to thank you for giving your time and providing feedback to make it a better game. Your opinions and insight allowed me to craft something better than I could have on my own. What's Been Accomplished?
Original postThank You!
To all those who played Stolen Crown during it's development, I want to thank you for giving your time and providing feedback to make it a better game. Your opinions and insight allowed me to craft something better than I could have on my own.
What's Been Accomplished?
There have been a significant number of changes and improvements over the course of the Early Access period. Some of the bigger changes were:
- Breaking the game into three modes - Draft, Free Pick, and Sandbox.
- Adding leaderboards and high scores.
- Adding new abilities and spells.
- Adding new companions.
- UI improvements based on player feedback.
- Lots of balance tweaks and bug fixes.
Will Stolen Crown See Continued Development?
Just because Stolen Crown is leaving Early Access doesn't mean it won't be getting further updates. Major additions are unlikely in the future, but additional content like spells, abilities, and new encounters are on the to-do list. Additionally, I'm always listening to player feedback. If you have something to say, please reach out on Steam, Discord, or use the in-game Feedback options!

Up until now, when starting a new run, players created a deck by selecting from a randomized subset of their unlocked cards. Now with Free Pick, you can choose any starting ability for your lineage, and build your deck from any of the cards that have been unlocked! For players that conceded over and over until you got your perfect starting deck, this mode is for you.
Free Pick mode will have a different leaderboard from Draft, so get out there and get your name on the new leaderboard!
This new mode also paves the way towards putting together a sandbox mode, where you will be able to customize your run even further. Sandbox mode will have all cards unlocked, and open up options like battlefield size, starting gold, and way more.
Other minor changes below:
- Improvements have been made to prevent card details from clipping through windows when hovered.
- Healing Breeze mana cost decreased from 2 to 1, cooldown increase to from 1 to 2.
